As the war between Iran and Israel & the US rages on, pulling in neighbouring countries, Aussie back home are beginning to see knock on effects. 

We’re joined by Dr. Jessica Genauer to unpack whether there's end in sight, and what it means for us all back home. 

Plus, the Victorian Government is moving to make work-from-home arrangements a legal right for two days a week, but not everyone is happy about it.

We speak with Premier Jacinta Allan about why small businesses won't be exempt.

And in headlines today, 200 Australians have returned home on one of the first commercial flights to leave the Middle East since the start of the US/Israeli led war in Iran; NATO air and missile defence systems stationed in the eastern Mediterranean have destroyed a ballistic missile fired from Iran as it ‌headed into Turkish airspace; A US ‌submarine has sunk an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka
The son of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US Israeli strikes, has survived and may take over leadership; First Nations people are set to be heard in a parliamentary inquiry aimed at ending racism, hate and violence; Australia’s oldest Winter Paralympian, Skier Michael Milton says he’s ready to race, despite recently breaking his leg in training
